CHAPTER 21

HarryPOV

I was momentarily confused at his hand hitting the sofa then I saw Remus's face turn red then beetroot and then a deep plum shade of purple and he sprung to his feet and glared between me and her and his features had never looked more alive then.

"That's why he couldn't find you..." I saw him smile and trail his fingers through his hair making it stand on end in all different directions, it would remind you of sticking a finger in the electric socket.

"What are you waffling about?" I asked him with pure amusement and I heard Alex giggle slightly before he glared at me and tried to scowl but it wasn't working...the way he was reacting was as if a child had just found out Santa had been.

"After you left Hawaii he was heartbroken and was determined to find you he tried Magical Private Investigators and Muggle ones ad still no record of Alex Monroe, but that's not your real name is it? So of course that would make sense but he was a man on a mission i had never seen Sirius so determined if he had put that kind of fearless determination in his studies he would have been a straight A student..." She was shocked that Sirius went looking for her of course so was I but the way he spoke to me that Christmas the love in his voice was incredible and pure emotion.

"He...he came looking for me?" She sort of stumbled across the question and I saw her face light up in a smile before falling again into a sad smile that reached so far beyond her eyes just as Remus nodded before slumping down onto the sofa and polished off his glass of wine.

"Yeah he tried to but now it all makes sense now...they kept you a secret because of your ability and you are essentially the oldest living person so I think you need to get props for that and of course you would be considered a target so they have to make out that you were non-existent." Now Remus was getting sidetracked and didn't realised but to see the expression on Alex's face was one of pure emptiness.

"He loved you of course he came looking for you..." As I said this she smiled at me as I pulled her in for a hug her features broadened to a Cheshire Cat like grin.

"I can't believe he came looking for me..." She was smiling an honest to goodness smile again and Remus being Remus had to go and ruin it with his vulgarity and non verbal filter.

"Best sex of his life not that he had that much and the love of his life he said...his words not mine..." Her smile faltered a little as she said that but she looked quite smug as he said this.

"Remus!" He looked at me and shrugged whilst smiling at her and filling up his glass with wine.

"What!? Look Sirius pined for this girl till the day he died and I will be damned if I can't get them together again..." Alex's head snapped up at this and her expression turned from one of elation to one of fear.

"You can't!" He continued sipping his wine and asked why not? " Look I don't know what way it works ok but I might not even be able to do it but if I do by some miracle bring him back then I can't mess with fate ok." I nodded at her as she said this but Rems was acting so think I wanted to bang his head of the table.

"What has fate got to do with it..." I was really curious as much so as Remus the way I saw it if Alex meant that much to Sirius and vice versa I don't see why she can't just let him if she still loves him.

"There are rules for a reason and it happened with Albus I couldn't bring him back and when Sirius died before I tried to bring him back before and if I do manage o do it with all of this powerful magic and the equinox looming it could happen but if it is seen as personal gain for me then he could be taken away again."

This caught both of our attention as Remus sat upright in the chair and his eyes were widened so much I thought they were gonna bulge outta his head.

"You had sex with Dumbledore!?" Of course out of that sentence that is the part that's important. She just ignored him as I touched her wrist.

"Wait we can be taken away again..." He was freaking out because he was reincarnated and I know he needs to be sure of his humanity and life. Alex shook her head at his and his shoulders visibly relaxed again.

"No because of my relationship with him if I enter a romantic relationship then it could be seen as personal gain and usually the reincarnations live until they are very old and very grey but a freak accident is all it takes. Its possable it would be taken put on me." We nodded if acknowledgement and I saw her relax back into the chair with her glass of wine. We all sat in amicable silence for about five minutes before Remus broke the silence and glanced at me put of the corner of his eye.

"Are you excited for tomorrow?" He asked me while I sipped on my wine and truth be told I was excited but all I am feeling now is nerves.

"Yeah...kinda scared, they haven't seen me since I was very little." I loved the fact that I can be truthful with Remus the only other person I could do that with is Ginny. She always knew when something is wrong and I could never hide anything from her.

"Don't be nervous Harry did you not say you saw them in the forest?" Alex asked me while I looked at Remus and gulped.

"I did but I also saw Remus and Sirius there but I think it was my dream state?" Remus sat up and looked at me with a smile and he came over to sit beside me of the three seater.

"You saw me?" I nodded and his face filled with joy and his eyes brined with unshed tears.

"Why me?" I saw Alex get out the tequila bottle out and three shots glasses she could read my mind.

"You have always been a father figure to meRemus and I obviously needed you there." He nodded in agreement with me and hugged me tight.

"I'm so glad your back Remus..." He thanked me and hugged me again before Alex headed out she said she had to meet someone. As she left it was just me and Remus and a bottle of tequila. Not a good combination because my filter tends to disappear.

"If you can't remember being there then I don't think they will remember." He shook his head in disagreement and came over to sit beside me.

"Not necessarily..." He tried to dispute my theory but it didn't really work so I decided to change the subject to something lighter.

"So what exactly happened to Sirius after Hawaii?" I knew Alex's side of the story but to hear about Sirius feelings and thought about this girl that he had always tried to keep guarded was slightly amusing because I can't imagine Sirius being fazed by anything.

"He was so unhinged, we had to leave three weeks early we had planned to go to LA and New York but we went home and he hired both a muggle and magical private investigator in order to double his efforts. After six months he gave up and got a job in the Ministry in order to try and track her down using ministry means but a year later he gave up." I saw him slump even further into the sofa and take a shot of tiquila and I followed suit.

"So he just gave up?" Remus nodded at me and shrugged his shoulders. He was probably surprised as well but the thought of Sirius just giving up the girl of his dreams seemed foreign to me, the Sirius I met was someone who reminded me they would fight.

"We'll now that I know what she can do obviously she wasn't meant to be found and this amazing house is obviously not supposed to be obvious for people it's in the middle of the mountains it screams solitude." I nodded and agreed with him while pouring another shot...I could feel myself getting more and more drunk and never in a million years could I have dreamt that I would be sitting here getting splattered with Remus Lupin. He was not only my fathers best fried but also my teacher and the only teacher I could call my friend who genuinely wanted to help me.

"I have got to say when I first met her I was not expecting to even like her but to be related to her is weird. When I first met her I thought she was hot..." He nodded in agreement and smiled at me before giggling.

"We'll she looks amazing for a 900 year old and let me tell you this much if she does manage to bring him back Sirius is so screwed because as soon as he sees her he will be a goner, he always was a sucker for a pretty woman never mind such a beautiful one like her." I laughed with him for another few minutes before his expression turned to one of concern and tiredness.

"We should go to bed? I need my rest and so do you...big day for you bud." He was excited to see his friend again I know that he is but he was worried about me even though he don't voice his concern he just placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Goodnight Remus." I said and hugged him tightly before reluctantly letting him go.

"Goodnight Harry...If you excuse me I am going to have sex with my wife it has been entirely too long." I saw him glance once more at me and nod slightly with a dirty smile etched on his face, that was a little bit too much comfort behind it.

As I found myself walking downstairs I found myself over thinking everything and I found myself slightly scared for tomorrow but I needed to deal with that in the morning tomorrow is a new day now is the time to kiss my beautiful wife-to-be.
